I have over 300 games installed and fully functional at least one from every year from 1989 to 2025. They all work. Some work better on Arch some (older 32 bit games from original CD) run better on Mint or wont install on Arch. Newer ones like Doom Dark Ages simply run better on Arch. Good luck installing DCS on Wayland though. Just dual boot an X11 focused distro and a Wayland focused one for best of both worlds. Windows hijacked my 25+ year old Hotmail account with their OneDrive ransomware and took my Linux EFI boot partition with it when it was promptly uninstalled. Every single game that is exclusive to Windows is a virus just like the OS that they run on. All cartooned out and loaded with microtransactions and invasive anti cheats. Ew. I would rather compute on a Texas Instruments calculator than install the Windows virus ever again. Id rather draw numbers in the sand than use one of their nasty products or play one of their ugly mass marketed games for dummies. Just absolutely wretched. X670E Creator Wifi, 7950x, 4080 Super, 64GB RAM, 1200W PSU, 4tb Samsung 9100 Pro gen5 nvme, 2x 2tb 990 Pro game drives, Arch and Mint share game drives and run the same files through Steam, Lutris, etc.

    Ugh how frustrating I get it. These issues have been solved in the latest release.. much cleaner install and config with seperate directories in ~/.config for nvim and tide42. Tide42 now calls on tide42.vim as its config file, not init.vim or init.lua so you can preserve your custom nvim setups and use Tide42 without conflicts.

    Hey devs, I recently wrapped the latest stable release of Tide42, a lightweight terminal-based IDE designed for speed, flexibility, and a clean coding experience — especially for those of us who live in the terminal.

    Tide42 integrates tmux, nvim, and thoughtful Bash scripting into a seamless dev workflow with:

    True 256-color support (color toggle with -c)

    Elegant, fast session layout using tmux

    Self-updating mechanism (--update) to pull the latest version from GitHub

    Multi-distro install script for Debian, Arch, macOS (via apt, pacman, brew)

    Respectful config handling – never overwrites your dotfiles

    Simple interactive file launcher (tide42 )

    Quiet mode for scripts (-q)

    Try it out: GitHub: github.com/logicmagix/tide42 License: GPLv3 Clone, install, and run tide42 to get started.
